inch ; the third and largest is 2| inches in length, longitudinally 

 curved, with one edge serrated for a length of If inch. 



Cores. — From this place there are also six small cores of 

 whitish- coloured flint, two of which are shown the full size 

 in the accompanying figures (figs. 12, 13.) Of the two 

 specimens figured, one is 1^ inch in length and 1:^ inch in 

 breadth; and the other, which is If inch in length b}' 1 inch 

 in breadth, shows eight facets, and is roughly circular in section. 

 Another, 1^ inch in diameter, shows eight facets. The three 

 remaining specimens are not so regular as those figured.

Scrnpers are very numerous, but are mostly of ordinary forms. 

 One, however, is a very good example of the form known as 

 duck-bill. It is 2f inches in length, curved longitudinally, and 

 trimmed on both sides as well as at the end. Another is very 

 much like Evans's fig. 210 in form and finish. A third, of dark 

 coloured flint of irregular circular form, is flat on the under 

 side, while the upper face shows the original crust of the 

 nodule. The diameter is If by If inch, and the implement 

 is worked all round the edge. Scrapers of this form, with 

 a continuous scraping edge, are not common in Scotland. 

 Another very pretty scraper might almost stand for the original 

 of fig. 220 of Evans in form, finish, and curve to the left. 

 Another specimen, of ordinary oblong form, has on one side 

 a small concave scraping edge, which shows considerable 

 signs of use. There are also two scrapers, each with a 

 hollow scraping edge.
